Merritt Tierce, "Suck It"

A waitress describes the dirty druggy ugly secrets of working in a fancy-ish restaurant.

(from New Stories from the South 2008)

This one's pretty great. I mean, it's rugged and harsh and real and gritty and all that. Very swiftly told, too. We're never really told why our narrator, an older waitress, is so willing to have sex with everybody, even if she hates them. That would've been interesting. (And novel.) But what we got made for a good read.
